Generally speaking, western countries practice freedom of religion. Unfortunately, that is not part of the culture in many Muslim countries. As more Muslims<\/a> immigrate to western countries, many of these immigrants tend to bring their lack of respect for other religions with them. A recent event in Australia illustrates the problem.<\/p>\n

Breitbart<\/a> is reporting today that an Australian<\/a> named Mike, of Greek heritage, was assaulted while riding the train through \u201cMuslim enclaves\u201d in south-west Sydney.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Christians<\/a> in Sydney, Australia<\/a>, are being advised to hide their crosses after an Arabic-speaking<\/a> gang shouting \u201cF*** Jesus!\u201d attacked a couple on a train while transport officers looked on from a \u201csafe space\u201d and did nothing.<\/h2>\n

That is a disgrace–both the attack and the lack of action on the part of the transport officers.<\/p>\n

The article explains:<\/p>\n

Mike, who asked for his surname to be withheld for fear he might be targeted, said that four men of Middle Eastern<\/a> appearance ripped his cross from his neck, stomped on it, and rained kicks and punches on his face, back, and shoulders. Two women attacked his girlfriend when she tried to protect him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Five uniformed transport officers watched the attack take place but failed to intervene, Mike claimed, leaving the police to meet the train at a later station.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI was born in Australia of Greek heritage,\u201d Mike told the Telegraph<\/a><\/em>. \u201cI\u2019ve always worn my cross. For [them] to rip it off and step on it has to be a religious crime \u2026 It\u2019s not on to feel unsafe in your own country.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mike went to Greek community leader and former Sutherland Shire Council<\/a> deputy mayor Reverend George Capsis, who believes Christians in Sydney face growing persecution at the hands of Muslim gangs, about the attack.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not an isolated incident,\u201d said Rev Capsis, who explained that Mike was the fourth Christian to have come to him about a religiously-motivated attack in just the last six months.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An explanation was given for the behavior of the transport officers:<\/p>\n

Sydney Trains<\/a> defended the transports officers who stood by as the attack took place, telling the Telegraph<\/em>\u00a0their main responsibility is tackling fare evasion and that they are trained to observe from a \u201csafe space\u201d if passengers are assaulted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are ticket inspections deemed more important than passenger safety?\u201d commented Telegraph\u00a0<\/em>journalist Miranda Devine<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSurely, if taxpayers fund dedicated Transport Officers to ride the trains all day, they should be authorised to do more than just observe crimes and call police.\u00a0Anyone can do that.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rev Capsis believes that, \u201cIf this keeps up, someone will be hurt.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wow. Just wow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
